It’s officially September, which means the 2018 Built Green® Conference is right around the corner! If you’re not excited yet about the Built Green Conference on September 13, you should be.

This event is bringing together policy makers and leaders in green building to talk not only about advancements in green building technologies, but how we can make our communities more sustainable for all. There will be national leaders in green building; Built Green homeowners; the mayors of Issaquah, Kirkland, and Arlington; and others who have a tremendous impact on our region. You’ll receive education on green building trends and get in the know about new technologies and strategies. And you’ll have tons of fun networking with fellow green building enthusiasts and celebrating at the reception and awards ceremony. Are you ready?!

Overview

The Built Green Conference has been occurring annually for over a decade, with the aim of providing valuable and cutting-edge information on green building and sustainability. The conference will cover a variety of topics related to green building, ranging from building science to policy, from deconstruction and displacement to discussions on equity, affordability, and community issues. This content will be covered throughout the day, including a keynote address, a variety of sessions to choose from, and lunch, all followed by an awards ceremony and reception. We’re looking forward to seeing you on this educational and fun day!

Keynote Speaker

The keynote speaker for the 2018 conference is policy expert, movement builder, and chief executive officer of The Dream Corps, Vien Truong. The Dream Corps brings people together to solve America’s problems by backing initiatives that close prison doors and open doors of opportunity for all.

The Dream Corps includes Green for All, which works to build an inclusive green economy to lift people out of poverty; #cut50, which works to reduce crime and incarceration in all 50 states; #YesWeCode, which works to help 100,000 young women and men of diverse backgrounds find success in the tech sector; and #LoveArmy, a national network of people committed to revolutionary love.

The Willet, built by STS Construction Services, is a studio-style, 20-unit building on the western edge of the University District where Portage Bay, Wallingford, and the U-District intersect—and where academia at UW meets recreation along Lake Union and Lake Washington.

The project is located near many public transportation routes, sits three blocks north of the Burke-Gilman trail and, with a Walk Score of 92, daily errands do not require a car. The building offers bike storage and a repair station to further incentivize tenants to ride their bikes, thus reducing dependency on cars and the project’s overall carbon footprint.

A large factor contributing to the project’s overall sustainability is its efficient use of space. Despite their small size (323 square feet on average), each studio includes a built-in Murphy bed, shelving, and desk. These fundamentals allow the tenant to create extra living space when they’re awake while still maintaining density in a fast-growing neighborhood.

To meet Built Green 4-Star standards and reduce the building’s overall energy consumption, the project focused on energy efficiency via domestic hot water, appliances, and lighting. Two high-efficiency gas tankless water heaters with recirculation pumps service the building, and water is sparingly used via low-flow plumbing fixtures. Each unit’s kitchenette comes with ENERGY STAR appliances as well as in-unit laundry and quiet, energy efficient ventilation fans. LED lighting is used throughout the entire building to further reduce the amount of energy needed for each unit and optimize building security. In addition, an array of solar panels was installed to help offset some of the energy consumed from plug loads, unit heating, appliances, and more.

It's no secret that our region is experiencing a sharp rise in housing prices and that many people are suffering from high housing cost burdens. Due to the affordability crisis, people are being displaced and are unable to easily access services and employment close to home. Seattle’s workers are sprawling into outlying communities, threatening the bioregional resource-base needed to maintain resilient communities. These impacts are felt more sharply by moderate- and low-income households, as well as within many neighborhoods that historically have been home to communities of color. Seattle’s real estate past contributed to the makeup of neighborhoods and zoning regulations that are causing ever-rising costs and displacement in inequitable ways. This session covered Seattle’s real estate and zoning history, how it shaped the city and region as we know it today, and how we can play a role in making our region more equitable, affordable, and livable.

Nestled in the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle is a cottage house built in the early 1900s with a hidden backstory: it was recently relocated from one lot to another. When nwBuilt wanted to redevelop the lot and build a new, contemporary urban farmhouse, they didn’t want have to demolish the existing house. So, with the help of a large truck and crew, they safely relocated it nearby! Following the move, excavation for the new foundation started with sustainable concepts in mind.

True to the nwBuilt design, this farmhouse-style house combines sustainability and healthy components with a contemporary modernist design. Filled with natural light from large windows, a double-story space in the living room, and light-colored finishes, the house feels bright and airy as soon as you step through the main entrance. The heated polished concrete floors, a vintage oak island, vertical shiplap, and use of reclaimed wood instantly captures your attention, while built-in shelves beneath the staircase add functionality.

In addition, to achieve the high point level required for Built Green 5-Star, nwBuilt incorporated features like reclaimed red bricks from the original house for the back patio and small retaining walls throughout the property, purchasing FSC and FloorScore certified wood flooring, using cellulose blown-in insulation, using only fully pervious hardscaping, and integrating a large bioretention cell for maximum water infiltration. Besides the addition of those features, they also incorporated many local products, making this home fit for today’s modern standards.
